I have an AR-10 and use Magpul 25,20,10 and 5 round mags. You are right about weight, the 25 round mag firing standing free hand is a workout. I served as an Infantryman in the Army and I would have hated to hump 7 25 round mags in my LBE. Wonder if the new 6.8 round the Army is going...

I come from the Army side of the house but Basic is Basic, I would teach her to disassemble a Ar-15 or M-4 clone in 4 minutes or less ask an Army or Marine vet how to do that or find it on the net, trigger drills, steady hold practice, name the parts of the weapon and how to safe the rifle...
Just to add to the list I'de like to add Windham Weaponry, they worked like the M-16a1 that was mine in 1976 and have gone bang every time. Just got this year a Windham M-4 clone so my Windham AR-15a2 would get lonely in the safe but because of the Kung Flu and ammo crazyness we haven't had much...
